The May-Mac saga might be over, but former two-weight boxing world champion Paulie Malignaggi still has beef with Conor McGregor.

The rivalry started last December when Malignaggi mocked McGregor for considering a temporary switch boxing, telling ‘The Notorious’ that he could beat him with one arm tied behind his back.

Thing escalated when McGregor, 29, invited Malignaggi to the UFC performance institute as a sparring partner and posted photos of their training session. One of the photos appeared to show Malignaggi knocked to the canvas, and the 36-year-old swiftly left camp and launched a trash talking campaign against McGregor on social media.
